This is a great show. The writing makes this show work for the characters and the viewer. The references back to the 80's and a tribute to John Hughes gives this show a big thumbs up for me. I believe that Community will be the next Office or 30 Rock! Hilarious!

Despite what one might think after all of the fanatics that have "reviewed" this show so far, the pilot was actually hysterical. It isn't just a show for Joel McHale fans, it is witty and hilarious.
